Question Everything lyrics


Ever since I was a child 
You always said that I should understand the rules 
You take some and give less 
Sit high above the rest...don't you 

As I ask a simple question 
Cuts me off with his reply 
He's been practicing for decades 
Now he thinks I have the time 
He flows in and out of riddles 
Looking me straight in the eye 
But it seems like something's missing 
From the days when he was more my size

Chorus: 
Ten years older and I've finally found my pride 
This old man comes rolling home to die 
Old feelings make it hard to decide 
Just what it means to me 

Everything exists 'tween black and white 
You can twist and distort the most blatant of lies 
Or just offer up solutions 
Practiced only in your mind
I've lost half my life to wisdom
So forgive me if I come off sounding bitter
If my words push you away
If I seem surprised to see you
Lying here, in front of me
Just consider what you're asking
And give me a little time
'Cause I'm still having trouble breathing
For in all these days
I've never seen you cry

[chorus]

"...No son of mine..."
Should I be sleeping?
"...No son of mine..."
You never understood
That I don't need your help
Don't have to save me from myself
Or take me out to prove
That I should live my life like you...

As I ask a simple question 
Cuts me off with his reply 
He's been practicing for decades 
But I am listening this time
He flows in and out of riddles 
Stories change without the wine
And at least he seems much clearer
On how it feels to be my size

[chorus]
Just what it means to me
Just what it means to me...
